pland, 9 lines long, enclosed by the enlarged calyx, which is cleft to the 
base on one side; the seeds are very numerous, but too unripe to discover 
the form of the embryo. ‘The plant found by Prof. Jameson in Columbia 
is hardly to be distinguished from that of Col. Hall, except that in the lat- 
ter, the stamens are somewhat exserted, and the calyx is divided into five 
nearly equal segments, being scarcely bilabiate ; but that difference alone 
can hardly make it a distinct species. Prof. Jameson says it is found abun- 
dantly in the neighbourhood of villages (azogues), where it is used for 
fences. The cultivated specimens described by Sir Wm. Hooker (Bot. Mag. 
tab. 4149), exhibit larger and broader leaves and larger flowers, but the 
calyx is exactly that as above described from Columbia.

The leaves are 3 in. long and 2¥ in, broad, the petiole being 14in. long ; 
the pedicels are 14 in. long, the calyx 5 lin. the corolla 14 in, long; the 
crimson filaments are adnate to the base for a length of 3 lines, where 
they are downy, thence they are free, tomentous, and dilated below, smooth 
and tapering gradually upwards; the style thickens considerably towards 
its summit,

(Mathews). v. s. in Herb. Hooker. 
In this species the leaves are about the size of C. Suchsioides, the flowers 
are in fascicles, with slender pedicels swelling at the summit, 14 in. long 
and tomentous; the calyx is short, unequally 5-toothed, 2-lobed, the one 
having sometimes 3 teeth, often truncated; the corolla of an orange-red 
colour, is covered with soft, dense, yellowish down, and is 1 in. long ; 
the anthers are half exserted; the style being somewhat longer, and the 
stigma capitate and bilobed. | af
